Following several requests from teachers I spent the Christmas Holidays 2018/2019 developing a brand new workshop covering ANCIENT EGYPTIANS

The workshop was officially launched on 9th January 2019 and feedback proved excellent and this workshop has now become established in our repertoire.

I present the session in the guise of an Egyptologist of the Howard Carter era.

​

In common with my other workshops this workshop will easily fill a full morning in school.  This allows for a talk section to start which will cover the general geography, location and background to Ancient Egypt and examining how we can possibly know anything about people who lived 5000 years ago.

Looking at archaeology (and what it is) and archaeological evidence and the wealth of remains the Ancient Egyptians have left behind.   Going on to discuss Egyptology and what the evidence tells us about the lives of those who lived in Ancient Egypt.  Basing my talk largely on the social hierarchy of Egypt starting with the slaves and peasant farmers and working our way up through 'the ranks' to the Pharaoh's examining the types of lives each group had and what their role was in the civilization of Ancient Egypt - how they lived, worked, played, what they wore, what they ate, how they worshipped.  Looking at buildings, temples, tombs, death practices, hieroglyphics, art and antiquities, the Egyptian Gods, famous Pharaohs and the pioneering Egyptologists and more.
